    as long as clients have flash, you use flash, if there is no flash, use html-javascript or whatever is enabled at the clientside...webfolks always adapted and will adapt to whatever technology is out there to deliver content.

    flash (or swf) is so succesfull because they were the first to bring animation to the web, now the webstandards are catching up, so in recent future there will be no need nomore for the flashplugin; I wonder how it will slowly disappear from default browser installations.
    I think adobe will have to expand flash's output to plain html-javascript in the coming years, if they want to keep flash in the webdesigner/developer toolbox.
